Crenshaw visits library during Kids' Day

The library's participation in this year's Ancient City Kids Day was an extra special treat, with donations from Rep. Anders Crenshaw (U.S. Congress, District 4).

This day-long event took place at the city of St. Augustine's Special Events Field.Highlighting St. Johns County as a "Community of Promise" within his district, Crenshaw awarded the participating agencies a certificate of special congressional recognition as a "community of promise." The St. Johns County Public Library System was designated a "Library of Promise" by Secretary of State Katherine Harris in 1999.

Additionally, Crenshaw made a gift to the St. Johns County Public Library System of a new book, "House Mouse, Senate Mouse," a children's book illustrating the legislative process and how Congress debates and declares "the National Cheese." Library System Director Mary Jane Little expressed her appreciation for the gift.

The library participated in Anc-ient City Kids Day in partnership with several other agencies under the umbrella of Epic Community Services, a non-profit organization that sponsors programs geared towards the nurturing and development of the youth in our community.

Along with its regular programming, the library offers a wealth of information about county and state-wide services available to these young citizens.
